It's been awhile...

I know it's been awhile since I last blogged (I did update my crafty site). We finally got our new camera (again). We did get some pictures with our old camera, I will post some here. I'm going away this weekend for a scrapbooking retreat so I should have some pages to upload on my other blog after I get back. And I've finished my work project (for the moment) so I should have a little extra time to blog a little more consistently!

Love, love, love this picture!

Going on a walk together (she loved the birds)...

In the swing...


Jamie set up these tracks in a circle, lay down on the floor, and just watched them go (see the video), it was too cute!



And some videos...

no pictures today...

For those that don't know, we bought a Pentax digital SLR camera back in December around Christmas time. Yesterday, I walked to Target and back with the camera in the basket of the stroller. It was there when I left, and it was not when I returned. I don't know what happened. I retraced my steps, I called mall security and I talked with Target security and lost&found. I posted a lost and reward ad on craigslist and I have been checking ebay, but I don't hold out much hope now. I can't imagine how a camera that big could fall out of my stroller without me noticing. I am thinking that either someone lifted it out when I wasn't paying attention or if it did slip out that someone quickly picked it up and took off with it rather than turning it in or giving it back. Either way, it is gone. I may be able to get reimbursed for the lens as that was bought just 2 months ago and might be covered under my credit card's purchase protection plan which is usually only good for 90 days, but I need to save for a new camera body, and lens strap, and 3 SD cards. Not to mention the fact that I will never get the pictures back that were currently on the camera. I am bummed...

zoo, z's, bubbles, balboa, & beach

zoo

A few shots from our first trip to the zoo, riding the tram...

catching some zzz's

The kids were watching sesame street and I look over and Abby is passed out on the couch, it was only like 10:30 or 11:00. It was so cute, I had to take her picture...then put her bed.

bubbles

I bought the kids some bubbles for them to play with out on our patio. This entertained them for quite sometime. I love these little no-spill containers they make for little kids - they worked quite well!

Abby is mad she can't get the wand out...

and she hasn't quite figured out how to blow the bubbles yet either...

Balboa Park

The kids had a good time running around Balboa park last Friday. It was a very pleasant day, about 75 or so.

Imperial Beach

With temperatures in the 80's and 90's this past weekend, we went to the beach both days. The first day we went to Mission Beach but forgot the camera, the second day we went to Imperial Beach and got these shots:

Abby loves playing in the sand:

Pointing at someone's stinkin' dog on the beach. Actually, the funny thing was that another person next to us had a pet iguana on a leash, I should've gotten a picture of that!
I love her new swimsuit - it is bikini bottoms with a rash guard top (our little surfer girl!):
Jamie and Chad return with new sunglasses and doritos!
Abby liked to be buried...

Jamie climbing the rocks behind us (he was too timid to go any higher):

What every girl with a baby stroller figures out...

So not too sure how much longer this stroller will be around...
